My Rec Form Was Lost... Help!

<p>I got an email saying one of my rec. forms was lost. I dont know which one though, and the admissions office wouldnt tell me... should I fax them both. I am extremely scared... they said that if that fax doesn't work, they won't tell me til a week later, and then I cannot try and fax it again, I am changed to RD if it hasnt worked. They said they will not confirm receipt of anything.... so its hit or miss</p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions. I am scared... I dont want my application to be ruined by the USPS. Does anyone know any numbers in the ad office or people who are a little more flexible to help to me out. I just want to make sure they get it (said I can't send it via mail either)</p>

<p>Please.... give me hope, help</p>

<p>I have the same problem. Don't worry, they can't penalize you for something that out of your control. My teacher was supposed to send his directly there, so you're lucky that you've got your own copies :) (or at least you made it sound like that) They will tell you if they get it, but they tell you a week later. I called to see which one of mine came in so I'll know which one I need to ask about, they said they're sending out another email about it tomorrow cause so many people have called in about teacher recs. Take it easy, man.</p>

<p>OMGOMGOMG SAME PROBLEM!!!! haha i just posted a thread without knowing you already did. i dunno which one either!!!!! i hope my chances aren't lower. i'm freaking out.</p>

<p>actually, I do not have another copy... but my teachers should give me one...</p>

<p>But there is a catch buddy. They said that while they will notify you in a week if they got it or not... if they HAVE NOT receieved it, it is too late; you may either move to RD or stay EA WITHOUT that rec... you cant try and fax them again...</p>

<p>Did they say if you could mail them too? You know, just in case</p>

<p>Hey man... I just want as fair a shot as I can get.</p>

<p>It said I was missing form 5... but I dont know which teacher I gave form 5. Is that others problems as well?</p>

<p>Yep. Form 5 too.</p>

<p>Oh and it doesn't affect your chances at all. If you do get it turned in.</p>

<p>wow.. whats up with this... all of our form 5's were lost?</p>

<p>form 5 for me too. that form is cursed.</p>

<p>you know what? i bet they just lost all the form 5's or something. gosh. =P</p>

<p>yea i kind of find it oddd.... since i did everything exactly the same with both forms... and both teachers were extremeley reliable.... More form 4 was turned in weeks in advance but form 5 was turned closer to the deadline. Maybe, they havnt been sorted or something?</p>

<p>Maybe there is an error with the database... or maybe... do you think it had something to do with the move of the undergraduate office? I dunno if the adress is differnt, but my form 5 was sent out later than 4 as well.</p>

<p>I would be very relieved it was all a big mistake, any form 4's missing, or other documents for that matter? Maybe we are all connected in some way? Maybe... near last name near the end of the alphabet? now im just pulling stuff out of my but, but i really think the office move may have messsed things up?</p>

<p>I do want to point out to those of us missing forms. It was clearly sent into me... if the form is not received, they will not accept it later. Basically, you have one shot to make sure the fax works... or you are screwed...</p>

<p>haha wolffy...you said that like 3 times. but yeah i'm worried about that too. but fax should work. i mean, how could it not? i think, though, just in case, i'm gonna see if i can fax it more than once =P i wonder if we can do that...</p>

<p>I haven't gotten an email saying I've lost anything YET. Hopefully it will stay that way.</p>

<p>Yah, frankly, I just don't trust modern technology anymore. It really seems like something does not want me to attend a college. I worry too that all my forms went missing, becuase I had my teacher send out all my recs at the same time... </p>

<p>Lady in AD office said you could overnight it as well, in case.... i think?</p>

<p>what do you mean you think?</p>

<p>well I called and talked to a person there... and he said do not send it in mail as well. My father called later and talked to another person who said you can send it by mail as well... thus the "i think:"</p>

<p>I think im just gunna talk to both my teachers and have them send both recs on form 5.... just because its better than not having one...</p>

<p>yes, the person I talked to said to send both... but the person my father talked to said she would call tomorrow and tell which teacher was missing...</p>

<p>Also, an above poster said they would email tomorrow with the teacher that was missing</p>

<p>i dunno...that's prob a LOT of e-mails to send, specifying which teacher for each person. do you think they would do that for us?</p>
